During the Chinese New Year, the theater was very lively, and the audience walked into the theater with expectations for the new year. And "Article 20" directed by the famous director Zhang Yimou is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching films in this Spring Festival file. 
The film brings together Lei Jiayin, Ma Li, Gao Ye, Zhao Liying and other powerful actors, and tells a warm realistic story about Han Ming, a middle-aged prosecutor, who makes a difficult choice between career and family, love and law. As soon as the movie was released, it received word-of-mouth praise, not only won the warm love of the audience, but also attracted widespread attention and discussion in the industry. 
Article 20 focuses on the character of Han Ming, and through a series of thorny problems he faces, it shows the story of how individuals in modern society adhere to justice in the face of complex interpersonal relationships and legal principles. Han Ming's son caused a conflict between the family and the school because of the beating incident, and his wife impulsively injured the school leader, this series of incidents made Han Ming have to face the test of professional ethics and law while maintaining family harmony. Hao Xiuping, the person involved in the case in the film, was even more cornered, and her experience made people deeply sympathetic and made people think more deeply about law and justice. 
The "three-line parallel" narrative technique in the film is impressive, which not only makes the storyline richer and more diverse, but also allows the audience to understand the various difficulties faced by Han Ming more comprehensively. This narrative not only tests the director's skills, but also allows the actors' performances to be more fully displayed. The superb acting skills of actors such as Lei Jiayin and Ma Li inject distinct personalities and deep emotions into the characters, allowing the audience to delve into the inner world of the characters and experience emotional ups and downs and conflicts with them. 
It is worth mentioning that "Article 20" is bold and profound in showing realistic themes. The film not only dares to expose some contradictions and problems in social reality, but also deeply analyzes the complex relationship between human feelings and legal principles through the experiences of Han Ming and other characters. Such movies not only allow people to be entertained and relaxed in the process of watching movies, but also can trigger people's reflection and thinking about social reality. Such works are undoubtedly of great significance for improving the artistic level and social influence of Chinese films. 
And the female image in the film is also impressive. Ma Li's wife, Li Maojuan, is impulsive but full of a sense of justice, and she shows the strength and independence of women in the conflict between the family and the law. And Hao Xiuping played by Zhao Liying is a typical victim image, her experience is deeply sympathetic, but she still adheres to justice and dignity in the predicament, which makes people see the tenacity and courage of women. The female characters in the film not only enrich the emotional level of the story, but also let people see the important role and power of women in social reality. "Article 20" not only makes the audience feel the complexity and diversity of human nature in laughter and tears, but also makes people have a deeper understanding and reflection on society and themselves. Such works are undoubtedly needed in our time, which can not only provide entertainment and relaxation, but also lead us to think and explore the deeper problems of society. 
Director Zhang Yimou once again proved his preeminent position in the Chinese film industry with his own works. Through the work "Article 20", he not only showed his deep understanding of realistic themes and superb processing ability, but also used the art form of film to present us with a world full of warmth and hope. Such works are not only worth seeing, but also worth pondering. I hope that in the future, there will be more excellent works like "Article 20" in our field of vision, so that we can get more inspiration and insights in the process of watching the movie.
